Little Things is off and running...

I never thought moving to the Dominican Republic would bring some of the opportunities it has to me.  For one, living in a different country stretches you beyond what you thought you could stretch sometimes.  But, my passion for sewing has had a chance to emerge and grow into something more than a hobby.  After many, many thoughts, plans, drawings, samples, ripped seams, etc.  I have decided to launch a line of small personal accessories.  I am calling it "Little Things by Karin", but when we move back to the states I will most likely call it "Cositas by Karin" (which means little things in Spanish), which is what I am titling this blog.

Here are a few pictures of some of the gifts I made for Eric's family for Christmas:


This is something I am really excited about. It's an Ipod case.  This is the second one I've made.  It's for Eric's preschool teacher. The first one wasn't perfect, but I gave it to Stacey when she visited from Boston.


This is a pencil roll for kids.  I customized this one for prima Emily.



These eyeglass cases include a handmade felt flower.  I made them for our moms.


Stick with me and let's see where we go!
